NBA, stagione 2023-24: gli obiettivi di mercato per le squadre della Southwest Division| Sky Sport

Qualcuno prova ricostruire tra talento e inesperienza. Qualcuno spera di azzeccare la combinazione giusta e sorprendere le superpotenze dell’ovest. Ognuno ha la propria idea di gioco in testa, e un intervento sul mercato per correggere o migliorare il roster non è affatto da escludere. “Bleacher Report” ha individuato quali potrebbero essere gli obiettivi per le squadre della Southwest Division

OBIETTIVI DI MERCATO, DIVISION PER DIVISION: ATLANTIC | CENTRAL | SOUTHEAST | NORTHWEST | PACIFIC

DALLAS MAVERICKS, DEANDRE AYTON

Nella squadra che sarà più che mai in mano a Doncic e Irving, la priorità sarebbe una presenza nel pitturato

Alternativa ad Ayton, rispetto al quale Turner ha meno talento puro ma più versatilità

DALLAS MAVERICKS, CLINT CAPELA

Terza opzione per il pitturato, la meno affascinante ma forse la più percorribile nei prossimi mesi

HOUSTON ROCKETS, ALEX CARUSO

Ime Udoka avrà come primo obiettivo quello di migliorare la fase difensiva di squadra, e Caruso sarebbe un eccellente rinforzo in quest’ottica

HOUSTON ROCKETS, DELON WRIGHT

Esperienza e affidabilità per allungare le rotazioni, in previsione di scelte sul roster che andranno fatte nel corso della stagione

HOUSTON ROCKETS, O.G. ANUNOBY

Come Caruso, più di Caruso, Anunoby alzerebbe di non poco l’efficacia difensiva dei Rockets

7/15

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES, MIKAL BRIDGES

Il pezzo mancante per far fare il salto di qualità ai Grizzlies: un esterno che marchi il più pericoloso degli avversari e che sia anche spendibile in attacco

8/15

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES, O.G. ANUNOBY

Anunoby potrebbe essere la seconda opzione di Memphis per colmare la lacuna sugli esterni, meno completo di Bridges ma più abbordabile in caso di scambio

NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 25: Jerami Grant #9 of the Portland Trail Blazers looks on during the game against the New York Knicks on November 25, 2022 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.

9/15

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES, JERAMI GRANT

Profilo leggermente diverso rispetto agli altri due obiettivi, Grant garantirebbe stazza e pericolosità dal perimetro in attacco

10/15

NEW ORLEANS PELICANS, JARRETT ALLEN

La difesa del ferro rappresenta la priorità per i Pelicans alla ricerca di un innesto che li aiuti a diventare una vera contender

11/15

NEW ORLEANS PELICANS, MYLES TURNER

In teoria sarebbe il partner ideale per Zion Williamson in un frontcourt davvero esplosivo, ma strapparlo a Indiana non sarà affatto semplice

SALT LAKE CITY, UT - OCTOBER 11: Kelly Olynyk #41 of Utah Jazz looks on during the game against the San Antonio Spurs on October 11, 2022 at vivint.SmartHome Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.

13/15

SAN ANTONIO SPURS, TYLER HERRO

Agli Spurs potrebbe fare molto comodo un creatore di gioco con punti nelle mani, e se Herro dovesse finire davvero sul mercato Popovich e soci potrebbero farci più di un pensiero

14/15

SAN ANTONIO SPURS, BEN SIMMONS

Una scommessa di quelle ad alto rischio ma dalle potenzialità altrettanto alte, da fare puntando tutto sulle capacità di San Antonio di curare e sviluppare i propri giocatori

NEW ORLEANS, LA - FEBRUARY 15: Tyus Jones #21 of the Memphis Grizzlies handles the ball during the game against the New Orleans Pelicans on February 15, 2022 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

SAN ANTONIO SPURS, TYUS JONES

In una squadra che proverà a modellare la propria identità attorno a Wembanyama, la sua solida presenza nel ruolo di playmaker potrebbe accelerare l’evoluzione della squadra
